Ingredients
  • 12 sheets graham crackers (about 2 cups of crumbs)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces (⅔ cup) bittersweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 5 ounces (about ⅞ cup) milk or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg whites
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. To prepare the graham cracker crust grind graham crackers to fine crumbs in a food processor.
  3. Add the melted butter and salt and pulse to combine.
  4. Press the crumbs up the sides and over the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
  5. To prepare the brownie filling melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
  6. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
  7. Whisk in the sugar.
  8. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time.
  9. Fold in the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder to combine.
  10. Pour into the graham cracker pie crust.
  11. Bake on a lower rack in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy bits, not wet batter. Set aside to cool at least 1 hour.
  12. To prepare the ganache, heat the heavy cream in the microwave in a microwave-safe container until steaming.
  13. Add the chocolate and stir until smooth.
  14. Stir in the salt and butter to combine.
  15. Pour the ganache evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  16. Chill until the ganache is set.
  17. To prepare the meringue, bring about an inch of water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to low.
  18. Stir to combine the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, and place it over the simmering water. Stir continuously until the egg white mixture is very warm to the touch and the sugar has dissolved.
  19. Remove the bowl and whip the egg whites with a whisk attachment to medium-stiff peaks.
  20. Dollop the meringue over the pie and swirl decoratively to coat.
  21. Use a blow torch (or the broiler) to brown the meringue.
  22. (Optional) Garnish with graham crackers, marshmallows, and additional chocolate chips, if desired. Serve immediately.
